f '-.3" The resignation of Professor Macmillan Brown of the chair of English and Political Economy at Canterbury College will be a distinct-loss to N higher education in New* * Zealand. So great was the professor's reputation, that for years past his notes and lectures have been cyclostyled or printed for the benefit of outsiders, some of whom, indeed, were at the time attending the English classes at the Dunedin and Auckland Colleges. As an instance of his remarkable success as a teacher, we may mention that for six years in succession the "Tihline" scholarship was won by Canterbury College, while the Bowen prize has fallen ten times to Canterbury and seven times to the rest of the Colony. Professor Brown also the author of a manual of English literature, which is exceedingly valuable to all students working for degrees.
